Solar that makes sense in The Hamptons

The Hamptons sits in west Edmonton between Whitemud Drive and the Anthony Henday, with mostly 2000s two-storey homes, attached front garages and fenced back yards. Because the houses face every direction around the curved crescents, about half have their best roof plane at the back, which is ideal: panels out of sight from the street and facing south or west.

Many homes here have finished basements and central air, so summer use is higher than the Edmonton average. That suits solar, because the air conditioner runs on the same afternoons the panels peak.

Call 250-250-2525 and tell us roughly what your monthly bill is. That is usually enough to tell whether solar is worth pursuing at your address. If it isn’t, we will say so instead of booking a visit to tell you in person.

Wire owner & credits

Who connects your solar in The Hamptons?

The Hamptons is inside the City of Edmonton, where the wires, poles and meters belong to EPCOR Distribution & Transmission. EPCOR is your wire owner whichever company sends your bill, and it is EPCOR that approves your micro-generation application and sets up the meter that records what you export. We prepare and file that application, and nothing is switched on until it is approved.

Your retailer, which may or may not be EPCOR, credits your exports at your energy rate. On a flat plan that is around 12¢/kWh in 2026; on a seasonal solar-club plan it is around 30¢ in summer and 7¢ in winter. Solar you use yourself also saves the per-kWh delivery charges on your bill. How solar club plans work

There is no city or provincial cash rebate in 2026, so your estimate assumes none. What is still available

The Edmonton sun year: monthly solar output vs household use Bar chart. A 7 kilowatt system in Edmonton produces about 8,050 kilowatt-hours a year: about 1047 in July and 201 in December. A home using 8,000 kilowatt-hours a year, shown as a line, uses the most in winter. From April to September production is higher than use, and on a solar-club plan those months are credited at about 30 cents. From October to March the home buys more than it makes, at about 7 cents. summer rate ~30¢~7¢~7¢03006009001,200 JFMAMJJASOND kWh per month · 7 kW system Solar output Home use (8,000 kWh/yr)
Edmonton solar is a summer business. About 69% of a year’s output arrives April–September, when a solar-club plan credits exports at ~30¢. In winter you buy more than you make, on the low ~7¢ rate.

Assessment

What we look at on a The Hamptons property

Before we give you a number, four things get measured. Any one of them can change the answer.

Roof planes and direction

Every usable roof plane is measured for direction and pitch. On many The Hamptons homes the best layout is split across a south and a west plane, which suits Edmonton’s long summer evenings.

Shade through the seasons

Trees, a neighbour’s two-storey and chimneys can all shade a roof in The Hamptons. The low winter sun makes shadows much longer, so we model shade in March and October as well as June.

A year of power bills

Twelve months of use is the most important number. Alberta’s micro-generation rules expect a system sized to your yearly use, and it is what decides the payback.

Your electrical panel

Some panels need an upgrade before solar or a battery can connect, usually $2,500 to $5,000. We check this during the survey, so it is in your The Hamptons quote and not a surprise on install day.

Pricing

What solar costs in The Hamptons

Homes in The Hamptons tend to be larger and use more power than the city average, so many land in the 8–10 kW rows of the table. A starter system runs from about $11,900 installed, and a typical family home lands between $17,000 and $28,000.

Installed “from” prices, no rebate assumed. Savings on a seasonal solar-club plan; on a flat 12¢ plan they are about a third lower. Your The Hamptons figure depends on orientation, shade, panel count and your electrical service.

An honest no

If the roof faces the wrong way, there is too much shade or your use is too low, we would rather lose the The Hamptons job than sell you a system that under-delivers.

Have these ready

  • A year of power bills or the “kWh used” line from each. Twelve months tells us more than anything else.
  • Your address, so we can check roof direction, pitch and shade on satellite imagery.
  • A photo of your electrical panel with the door open. It shows whether an upgrade is needed.
  • Plans for an EV, heat pump, hot tub or garage suite, so the system is sized for them.

Why a local installer matters

We work in south and west Edmonton every week, so a survey in The Hamptons fits into the same week, and a service call years from now is a short drive down the Henday. We know the housing here: big two-storeys with complex roofs, bonus rooms over the garage, and newer subdivisions where the trees are still small enough not to matter.

Call 250-250-2525 and we will tell you honestly whether your The Hamptons property is worth surveying.

Service should be a short drive away. Every system needs an inverter replaced eventually, and that is when being local really counts.
